Short answer: the Simgot EW200. It ranks #44 of 1291 in-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 4.7/5, at $45. The Tin HiFi C2 Mech Warrior ranks #77, rated 4.6/5, at $39, $6 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
What the Simgot EW200 does well: A single dynamic in-ear with an excellent 82 Harman preference score and an unusually smooth 1.56 dB spread from target. Watch for: A 3.5 dB peak near 8.1 kHz and air about 2.3 dB above target can make cymbals and sibilance a little crisp for treble-sensitive listeners.
What the Tin HiFi C2 Mech Warrior does well: The median of nine squig.link measurements gives it a preference score of 80.2 with a tidy 1.44 dB deviation, and sub-bass stays within about 1 dB of target to 30 Hz for solid low end rumble. The tradeoff: Air above 10 kHz runs about 4.6 dB hot, peaking 6.8 dB near 11.9 kHz, which can make cymbals and hiss on older recordings sound sharp.
Buy the Simgot EW200. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $6 saving on the Tin HiFi C2 Mech Warrior is not enough to make up the difference.

Frequency Response Compared
Both headphones’ measurements overlaid on the Harman target. Above the target sounds louder in that range, below it quieter. Each curve is the median of several independent measurements, shifted so its 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB, so only the tuning is compared.
